TAMPA, FLA. -- AEVEX Aerospace, a global leader in cutting-edge unmanned systems and services, announced it has been awarded the prestigious AS9100 certification for its Tampa, Florida facility. This internationally recognized standard provides the framework for developing and implementing quality management systems within the aviation, space, and defense industry. Achieved in just 9 months from official project launch, this certification further demonstrates the AEVEX commitment to delivering world-class products to the aerospace and defense markets.
